While there is room for improvement, The King's Avatar is worth watching for the story and its strong cast of characters, and the mere fact that it gives audiences a look into the future of a different kind of anime.

Avatar is a live action isekai anime.
Since its release on Tencent Video two weeks ago, it has attracted a record number of followers. Airing on Tencent Video, the show exceeded 100 million views within four hours of its release, achieving 1 billion views at the time of writing.
Unlike other stories centered around an MMORPG, The King's Avatar has no Fantasy-, isekai- or Science Fiction-related elements: rather, it keeps itself firmly rooted in Real Life.
Season 2 of The King's Avatar aired from September 25 to December 4, 2020.

The King's Avatar Movie: For the Glory is based on the prequel novels for The King's Avatar. "Quan Zhi Gao Shuo - Top Glory - The Summit of Glory"
Ye Qiu is kicked out of his team that he has captained for 8 years due to his unwillingness to take part in marketing and promotion deals making him unvaluable, despite his skills and his 3 straight championship with the team in the first 3 years.
When an elite gamer is forced out of his professional team, he becomes a manager of an Internet café and reinvents himself to return to online glory.
Real-life nephew and uncle Rana and Venkatesh Daggubati star as a Mumbai fixer and his ex-con father in this adaptation of the crime drama, “Ray Donovan.”
Typically an RPG uses the W-A-D-S keys to move an avatar; Ye Xiu's fingers are all over the left side of the keyboard. (As a note, keyboards are shown to have English letters on the keys.) The background music gets a little too tinky at times, but the theme songs are catchy, albeit a bit slow for the story they bookend.
(It's explained in the novels that Ye Xiu is his real name, but he ran off with his twin brother's passport.) He's a twenty-five-year-old professional gamer, having risen to fame as a member of the team Excellent Era in the game Glory.
While parts of the story are firmly linked to Chinese MMORPG culture, others are more universal, making this a show that not only fulfills the stated goals for Chinese animation , but also could spark international interest in a new source for animated TV series.
But this season, Spring 2017, has brought a surprise in the form of a Chinese animated TV series - The King's Avatar. Like many of its anime counterparts, the series is based on a series of web-turned-print novels and is set in a gaming world, although not in the isekai sense. Protagonist Ye Xiu is a professional gamer when the series starts, and while almost all of the action takes place in the online game Glory, it's not a VR game, giving the series a grounding in the real world that anime has largely done away with. With a second season slated for 2018, rumors of a live action film, and a growing fanbase – as well as the availability of legal English translations of both the novels and streaming episodes – it's worth giving this show a second look.
